I purchased her from a farm supply store in early June as a chick. Started laying at about 23 1/2 weeks, but is November, so I think light may have had something to do with it. She has laid a beautiful brown thick shelled egg a day since she started laying. I am still waiting on my Speckled...
I am just so egg-cited! I think it was our Golden Sex Link Henrietta. She is about 23 1/2 weeks, so have been anxiously awaiting it's arrival. Now just waiting for the other girls to get on board the egg train!
I am a newbie as well, but had a EE roo I just had to rehome that was the same age as yours. I attached a picture. His coloring indicated a roo(red on shoulders), his legs were the size of tree trunks, his comb was way bigger than my girls and turning red faster and his body size was way...

Thanks for your...
I grew up with chickens and have been talking about getting some for years! A week ago I finally got some. After lots of research I got 1 Welsummer(now 1 1/2 weeks), 1 Speckled Sussex (about 2 1/2 weeks), 1 Easter Egger(sold as an "Ameraucana", but I know that is a sticky subject!, now about 2...
